Today is #NationalSandwichDay. We spent ages trying to think of a slice of humour for a creative tweet to mark this occasion. This sort of thing is usually our bread and butter. We did roll around an idea or two, but our plan is toast. What a pitta! Anyway, that's a wrap! https://t.co/vRB3fWcINV

National Sandwich Day Facts

The origins of the sandwich are unknown, but the concept can be dated as far back as the 1st century. It is believed that Jewish leader and sage Hillel the Elder filled two pieces of matzo with nuts, apples, and spices.
Englishwoman Elizabeth Leslie is credited with introducing the sandwich to America in 1840. Her cookbook Directions for Cookery is said to have had a recipe for ham sandwiches.
The first written record of the term sandwich was in 1762 when English author Edward Gibbons spotted two men eating cold meat between bread in a small café called the Cocoa Tree.
